Soccer 101

So last year as you all know, we tried out Ballet..... That was OK I guess. Briley did as well as expected but she really was totally bored. She does NOT like to sit still. She is very competitive. So I enrolled her in soccer lessons to prep her for a team in the fall....

Here she is with her classmates and Coach Alex.... They are getting ready to scrimmage.

Briley told me "Mama, I'm gonna beat those boys!!!!"

She got to be the goalie with Nora for awhile....

and then she got to beat those boys.... :)

That's my girl. Give him an elbow to the face.....She's tough!!! I pity those boys.

Go briley go!!!

This is when she made her first goal right before the scrimmage....

Dribbling through cones....

SCORE!!!

This is the first time I have seen a true look of satisfaction and accomplishment on her little face. She kicked that ball in, gave Coach Alex a high five and picked up the ball to start over and smile real big to herself and said "YESSS!"

Coach Alex is giving them a little lesson....

Everyday she has been asking when we are going back to soccer. She can't wait. She wants a soccer ball. I promised her we would go buy one this weekend!

About Our Family

Melissa and I met in 6th grade in Mission Viejo California. We were elementary school sweethearts. I moved back to Texas, and we remained in contact until August of 1996 when we decided to visit each other. She came to Texas and stayed for 10 days. It was great to see her again, especially now that I was taller than her. I had made her a promise to take her to her senior prom, and I did just that. It was a real special night, being able to fulfill a 7 year promise. We went to college together, we were engaged in 1997, married December 7, 2002, and graduated from Texas A&M University in 2002. We now live in Katy Texas, with our two dogs Sully and Zoey, and we have two Beautiful little girls Briley and Kayelyn. Life is a daily adventure for us. But one that we would not change for the world!
